a Kronos has nothing to do with this screenshot, though it might have helped to get it this way 
p.s. i don't know all deadspaces, so it could be possible to find such blueish/white colors there, neither can i agree or not agree on the p.s.
no general questions please you got the hints that should be enough
new hints on way and (first hints isk) refounded

right this is what i think it is.
its a clone vat bay I being activated on a nidhoggur
heres how i got it
According to the Gylfaginning part of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, Nf=h÷ggr is a being which gnaws one of the three roots of Yggdrasill. This root is placed over Niflheimr and Nf=h÷ggr gnaws it from beneath. The same source also says that "[t]he squirrel called Ratat÷skr runs up and down the length of the Ash, bearing envious words between the eagle and Nfdh÷ggr"[2].
or maybe im totally wrong lol.

Any chance getting details on say what resolution you run when you took the screen shot so I can extrapolate a few line lengths based on the aliasing effect that is visible in the image and so I know how much the jpg compression may have distorted the image? :)

Originally by: Dusky Shark Red coloured part of Cormorant destroyer?
my screen is 1280x800 but i use the right mouse zoom often to take screenshots, best orientation for zoom level is to take the textures into account.
All pilots who payed fees so far will have a free 0.5m basic try during DT.
This post will be updated at 19:00 GMT again, check my bio for details, you are welcome to send fees and post during that time.
Total of fees is about 87mill, 13 more and the prize will go up.

last few hours, use your chance to ask Yes/No questions about the hints, each question can be related to one or more hints...
some post here are very near but not what we are looking for...
We are looking for the accurate name of the red-brownish-thingy seen in the upper right corner of this screenshot (surrounded by the grey-black-whatever).
on the other side a 0.5 basic try could bring you into the list of the winners if none gets it right

Edited by: Effei Gloom on 08/03/2008 22:12:28 END:
no right answers so far 
Correct answer would have been:
- A senew or tendon or vein sticking out of an armpit of a frozen corpse floating in front of a distant sun (floating before a sun let the texture of the corpse go black and space background turning light blue) - Senew, tendon, vein, injured cut of skin, sticking out intestines or anything similar would have been enough to win the prize instandly.
check the link below - 6th contest screenshot with surrounding borders -
Linkage
% accuracy of best guesses: 05% = 6mill [22] - Adsterine - a red kable hanging out of a wrecked concord billboard inside a deadspace... (stolen idea :) ) 40% = 46mill [26] - Firestorm11 - an iron rod embedded in an asteroid? 55% = 63mill [47]+[49] - Futuristic Eagle - Is it a Frozen Corpse? - Is it one of the "Graves"(Containers used to hold corpses) in the EvE graveyard?
thx for participation, this one was a bit hard to guess i hope you enjoyed it. Criticize as you wish, you are welcome!
Isk on way !
*** Next 7th competition will start on 16/03/2008 DT *** *** during 3 days *** *** fees lowered to 0.1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5mill isk *** *** prize: 50mill+ check it out ***
